We made it home via Munich and so did all our bags, amazingly. What a great trip. I'm too beat to write much more (my body thinks it's after 10pm and I've been up since 4am) but I will be assembling the best photos and videos into a DVD of some sort for ... Read more >

Check, please.....we're outta here. It's a wrap. We had a final dinner at a great Chinese restaurant in Prague and now it's time to count down the hours to taxi time. We'll be in Munich in the morning and then it's on to Washington Dulles International ... Read more >

My bag arrived last night with everything intact. Sweet. No need to hunt around Vienna for a rain stick after all. This morning an early breakfast at the hotel and then Jimmy, Elliott, Alaina, and Pete Farmer (another MMC composer) and I will head over ... Read more >
